ISA awarded me a 2013-2014 scholarship to help fund my education. I would not have been able to keep going to school if I had not received it. So, I want to give thanks to the many people of the ISA who work on securing the future of the organization just as the original founders had. ISA was and is forged and founded from true honesty and integrity that you will not find in to many other professions.

Name *: Honeywell Experion LX Proven Easy to Use and Purpose built Distributed Control System

Description *:

A DCS to control and optimize continuous and batch applications.

The specialty chemicals, biofuels, industrial and mid-size power, metals, water, and food & beverage industries are continually looking to reduce costs while meeting more stringent regulations and increased sustainability objectives. One way to accomplish these goals is through the functionality of a distributed control system (DCS), which can control and automate your plant while providing the system reliability and greater flexibility that traditional PLCs are unable to offer. However, many leading DCS systems are simply too big and not cost-effective for smaller manufacturing operations.

Honeywell’s purpose-built DCS-Experion® LX-helps manufacturers worldwide meet these challenges.
It provides you with the agility to respond to product mix changes and offers advanced optimization and batch technology usually found in larger DCS systems-but at an affordable price. Experion LX manages all continuous process control applications and optimizes batch and sequence-oriented applications. It’s scalable from a single HMI and controller to many stations and controllers. It incorporates Honeywell’s latest C300 controller technology and an innovative Series 8 I/O platform. Straightforward configuration and advanced engineering tools enable faster project implementation or system changes, allowing you to expand and modify operations to meet growing and changing business demands. The results are increased production, more flexible product mix changes, and faster introduction of new products and formulations. Experion LX is based on Honeywell’s award-winning Experion Process Knowledge System (PKS) and leverages Honeywell’s proven track record in DCS applications.
